The pilot and three passengers were fatally injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by private individuals as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Day instrument meteorological conditions prevailed. The flight was operated on an instrument flight rules flight plan. The flight originated from the Kenosha Regional Airport (ENW) about 1126 and was destined for EFT.A witness reported that she was sitting at her kitchen table when she heard the airplane. It sounded similar an airplane performing aerobatic maneuvers, with a loud, high-pitched sound such as when an airplane descends at high speed during an aerobatic maneuver. She subsequently looked out of her kitchen window and observed a "fireball" through an opening in the tree line behind her home. She immediately heard a "deafening" explosion that shook the house and saw thick black smoke rising above the trees. A second explosion followed shortly after the first.The accident site was located near the edge of a wooded ravine, with the terrain rising about 20 feet from the initial tree impact to the main wreckage. The debris path was oriented toward the east-southeast. The initial tree strike was about 80 feet above ground level. A second tree strike about 12 feet above ground level was located about 32 feet from the initial strike. An impact crater was located approximately 15 feet from the second tree strike. The main wreckage was located about 114 ft from the initial tree impact on the top of the ravine near the edge of the tree line. The area east of the woods was open and consisted of tall grass.

The plane flew out of Kenosha Regional Airport and went down not far from the Monroe Regional Airport. The community outpouring has been overwhelming for the family."She had that really strong work ethic," said Colleen Deininger's sister, Vicki Moore.Colleen Deininger, a successful broker and family matriarch, was killed when the plane she was piloting went down Sunday afternoon. She was headed to a family celebration with her daughter and two grandchildren."She was the best thing to happen in my life and I'm going to concentrate on that," said Vicki.Family members say Deininger was a champion for the community."She gave to so many places and so many causes and helped raise money. She never did any of that for any kind of notoriety," said Michelle Deininger.Colleen Deininger's daughter, Lisa Deininger-Dickman and her children, 17-year-old Emmarose Dickman and 13-year-old Alex Dickman were also killed in the crash.

"She was just a dear, sweet, loving person," said Colleen Deininger's son, Michael Deininger.An eyewitness said the plane was on fire when it plummeted from the sky."It was definitely a mechanical problem with the plane. It lost power," said Michael Deininger.

Michael Deininger said he believes his mother, an experienced pilot, attempted to make an emergency landing in a field.

"Airplanes need a little firmness to bounce and it didn't -- so it literally disintegrated on impact," said Michael Deininger.Four lives were taken in a moment. Now, they're being celebrated and cherished by the family they left behind."We're going to get through this. We're going to get through this. We're not going to like it, but we're going to get through it," said Vicki.The family is working to set up scholarships to honor the four killed in the crash. A preliminary crash report is expected to be released in the coming days.Story and video ➤ http://fox6now.com

The flight departed Cabin Creek-US Forest Service Airport, Cascade, Idaho, about 1145, with Dewey Moore Airstrip as the planned destination.A witness, who had just landed and had an unobstructed view of the event, stated the pilot of the accident airplane came into view on his approach. He stated the airplane was slightly high, and at the point when he was on the extended centerline of the runway he added power and pitched up steeply. The witness stated that he then observed the airplane continue upstream for about one-half mile with its nose up and not climbing well, followed by it entering a left turn. Shortly thereafter, the left wing dipped and the airplane entered a stall/spin to the left, rotated one and one-quarter turns, then descended out of view just prior to impact with the ground.The airplane will be recovered to a secured storage facility for examination.Aircraft and Owner/Operator InformationAircraft Make: PIPERRegistration: N1979PModel/Series: PA 18-150 150Aircraft Category: AirplaneAmateur Built: NoOperator: SIMMONS W TODDOperating Certificate(s) Held: None Meteorological Information and Flight PlanConditions at Accident Site: Visual ConditionsCondition of Light: DayObservation Facility, Elevation: MYL, 5024 ft mslObservation Time: 1151 MDTDistance from Accident Site: 46 Nautical MilesTemperature/Dew Point: 18°C / 11°CLowest Cloud Condition: Few / 5500 ft aglWind Speed/Gusts, Direction: 6 knots / , 310°Lowest Ceiling: NoneVisibility: 10 MilesAltimeter Setting: 30.09 inches HgType of Flight Plan Filed: NoneDeparture Point: Cascade, IDDestination: Yellow Pine, ID (na)Wreckage and Impact InformationCrew Injuries: 1 SeriousAircraft Damage: SubstantialPassenger Injuries: N/AAircraft Fire: NoneGround Injuries: N/AAircraft Explosion: NoneTotal Injuries: 1 SeriousLatitude, Longitude: 45.150000, -115.071389

Todd Simmons, Cirrus Aircraft’s president of customer service, is recuperating in an Idaho hospital in the wake of a June 21st plane crash, the Duluth-based company confirmed.
In a Monday afternoon statement, Ben Kowalski, Cirrus’ senior vice president for sales and marketing, said Simmons “was involved in an aircraft accident while on a personal flight in a Piper Super Cub that he owns. He was flying solo in the aircraft at the time and was the only person involved.”“We are in close contact and supporting Todd and his family throughout this process; our thoughts and prayers are with them at this time,” Kowalski said.An initial accident report from the Federal Aviation Administration indicated that a 1955 Super Cub registered to Simmons crashed shortly after 6 p.m. Thursday in McCall, Idaho. The status of his injury was listed as “serious” and the cause of the crash remains classified as “unknown.”In addition to working at Cirrus, Simmons was recently elected to the board of the Recreational Aviation Foundation. An RAF profile noted that Simmons has deep roots in aviation. His father was a U.S. Army flight surgeon. One of his grandfathers flew a B-26 during World War II, and another grandfather worked as a crop duster.Original article ➤ https://www.duluthnewstribune.com

Location: Richfield, UTAccident Number: WPR18LA177Date & Time: 06/21/2018, 1527 MDTRegistration: N16DNAircraft: SCHEMPP HIRTH FLUGZEUGBAU GMBH ARCUS MInjuries: 2 MinorFlight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal On June 21, 2018, about 1527 mountain daylight time, a Schempp-Hirth motorized glider, N16DN, was destroyed following an inflight-break up near Richfield, Utah. The commercial pilot and passenger sustained minor injuries. The glider was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the local flight, which originated from Nephi, Utah, about 1300.The pilot reported that he was participating in an air sailing competition and that he planned to maneuver the glider from the departure airport toward Mount Monroe, with subsequent turns to various headings before returning to Nephi. The pilot reported that the weather was good, was not turbulent and was a "very good soaring day."The pilot stated that as the flight progressed, southeast of Richfield and as he approached 17,000 feet mean sea level (msl), one of the rudder pedals "slammed back" and threw his foot off the pedal, accompanied by a "thud" sound. He could not recall which direction the rudder pedals moved and added that when this occurred, there was no change in the glider's yaw, pitch, or bank angle and that he was unable to move the rudder pedals. Shortly thereafter, the glider's bank angle and speed began to increase, and the pilot thought they had possibly entered a spin, or spiral. He applied corrective actions, however, he was unable to recover, and told the passenger to bail out. The pilot stated that as he jettisoned the canopy, "the wing broke" and his passenger and himself bailed out.The Sevier County Sheriff reported that the wreckage debris field was about a mile in length and located within mountainous terrain about 7 miles southeast of Richfield. The wreckage was recovered to a secure location for further examination.

It's pretty minor."The impact damaged both floats and the right wingtip of the Cessna 170B, he said.The pilot took off from Hewitt Lake, about 5 miles northwest of Skwentna, a federal investigator said.The plane ended up on the bank of the west water lane of the airport, according to Shawn Williams, the National Transportation Safety Board investigator looking into the cause of the crash.Original article can be found here ➤ https://www.adn.com

No injuries were reported Thursday morning after a floatplane ran ashore at Anchorage’s Lake Hood Seaplane Base.Airport Police and Fire Chief Jesse Davis said initial reports that a single-engine floatplane had crashed came in at about 10:30 a.m.Airport Police and Fire Sgt. Brad Skupnik said the pilot was unhurt in the incident, which occurred during a landing.“She landed just fine, and then she said the plane veered over to the left (and) ran up on the bank,” Skupnik said.It wasn’t clear why the plane veered off course, but Skupnik said there was “nothing in the water” on the lake.Flight operations at Lake Hood were briefly shut down during the response, but Skupnik said the lake was soon reopened to aircraft. Runways at the airstrip were set to reopen once a crane lifted the plane and put it on a truck for transport.A National Transportation Safety Board investigator was also enroute to the scene, according to NTSB Alaska chief Clint Johnson.The incident comes a week after a fatal June 13 midair collision over the Susitna River, in which surviving pilot Bruce Markwood was able to land at Lake Hood's airstrip. The other pilot, James Poelman of Wasilla, crashed into the river and died.Story and video ➤ http://www.ktva.com

ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - A plane crash early Thursday drew response form multiple agencies when the aircraft, a small float plane, "veered violently" upon landing.According to Sgt. Brad Skupnik with Airport Police and Fire, the pilot and sole occupant was not injured when the plane crashed. The female pilot had been on a roughly 40 minute trip prior to the crash."It was coming in for a landing, and landed just fine, but then violently veered off course when it landed and sustained damage," Skupnik said. It is not yet known what made the plane veer into the nearby bank.The plane, with a tail number of N4427B, sustained damage to both of its floats, but the woman was reportedly able to walk away without injury.The floats were too damaged to taxi, so it had to be airlifted out of the water by a crane and put on a flatbed truck.National Transportation Safety Board spokesperson Clint Johnson said that they had investigators present Thursday morning to investigate the finer details of the crash.Original article can be found here ➤ http://www.ktuu.com

The private pilot sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated by Bald Eagle Flying Club under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for flight that originated at Portland International Airport (PWM), Portland, Maine at 1142 and was destined for 2B2.The pilot reported that he entered at the traffic pattern at 2B2 following an uneventful flight from PWM. The windsock showed a 20° left crosswind at 9-11 knots. The approach to runway 28 was stable at 65 knots and the airplane was configured properly over the threshold. After crossing the threshold, the airplane descended and drifted to the left. The airplane was no longer over the runway, so the pilot elected to go around. He added full power and the left main gear struck the grass next to the runway. The airplane was not gaining altitude and continued to the left. He retracted the flaps with the hope of gaining altitude; however, the airplane did not climb and the stall warning horn activated. He pushed the yoke forward to avoid a stall and the airplane touched down on the grass and then collided with trees.An inspector with the Federal Aviation Administration responded to the accident site and examined the wreckage. He reported that the wings and fuselage sustained structural damage.The wreckage was recovered to a storage facility after the accident.
